Hi all! This is Umur from Turkey.

My wife and I are a travel couple who roam around the world, going to countries in our bucketlist and running a travel blog on oykununoykuleri.com. Please find us on Instagram @oykununoykuleri.

We love meeting new people and getting to know new cultures, new habits, new tastes and all.. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love sharing experiences and exchanging information with people all around the world. I believe this is one of the best ways to open the doors for communication and long lasting friendships.

Besides, over the last few years, accommodation expenses raised too drastically for us so we thought we could try to save a little bit on that side whilst making new friends.
